Bower Residence
Project Type
House
Location
Manly, NSW
Spectacularly perched on the rock escarpment overlooking the Fairy Bower and Shelly Beach, the design is expressed as a composition of two pavilions with dynamic zinc roofs floating over a crisp, white, monolithic base. The pavilions are connected through an ephemeral gallery hall sharply lit throughout the day through a series of seamless skylights.
The two pavilions respond to the natural topography of the site, stepping down from the street concluding with stepped timber platforms and a cantilevering garden hovering over the Fairy Bower Pool and Marine Parade. All rooms have breathtaking views and access to sunlight and ventilation.
